P3.2016: Full-time MSc on Vibration Control in Flexible Systems using Computational Intelligence

A full-time MSc by Research post on a project in the area of vibration reduction and control of flexible systems, such as gantry cranes and robotic manipulators with flexible links. The project will investigate computational intelligence techniques to design adaptive and robust vibration reduction control schemes for flexible mechanical systems.

Students must be in possession of, or expect to obtain, at least a Second Class Honours degree ideally in one of the following areas (or any other related area): Electrical & Electronic Engineering or ICT. Ideal candidates must have a good background in control engineering; an interest in robotics, electronics and computer interfacing; an aptitude for mathematics and proficiency in programming including MATLAB/SIMULINK.

If you require further details, please contact Dr. Ing. Marvin Bugeja. Interested students should send an email of expression of interest for this project, a copy of their CV and a course transcript to marvin.bugeja@um.edu.mt.

The Department of Systems and Control Engineering and the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics are seeking students who are interested in pursuing studies leading to an MSc in Engineering degree (mainly by research) on any of the topics detailed here.
